Chapter 2: Server Installation Rack Mounting Considerations Ambient Operating Temperature If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating tempera- ture of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient tempera- ture (Tmra).
UPER ERVER 1027GR-72RT2+/72R2+/TRT2+/TR2+ User's Manual Installing the System into a Rack This section provides information on installing the SC118GH chassis into a rack unit with the rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean that the assembly procedure will differ slightly.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Inner Rail Extensions The SC118GH chassis includes a set of inner rack rails in two sections: inner rails (A) and inner rail extensions (B). The inner rails are preattached and do not interfere with normal use of the chassis if you decide not to install to a server rack. Attaching the inner rail extensions to to the inner rails stabilizes the chassis within the rack.
UPER ERVER 1027GR-72RT2+/72R2+/TRT2+/TR2+ User's Manual Assembling the Outer Rails Each outer rail is in two sections that must be assembled before mounting on to the rack. Assembling the Outer Rails 1. Identify the left and right outer rails by examining the ends, which bend outward.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Outer Rails onto the Rack Outer Rail Installation 1. Adjust the outer rails to the proper length so that the outer rail fi ts snugly within the rack. 2. Align the holes on the front of the outer rail, with the holes on the front of the rack (C) and secure with the screws provided.
UPER ERVER 1027GR-72RT2+/72R2+/TRT2+/TR2+ User's Manual Installing and Removing the Chassis From a Rack Installation into a Rack 1.
